Bouvard on Technology, Mimesis, and Intellectual Community

There's a probably minor technical problem with the blog--I asked Gans about it, and he said UCLA was doing some update and it should be working in a couple of days. More than a week later and it's still not working, and I don't want to keep nagging Gans, with whom I don't really communicate at this point. It seemed like a good time to start something new. Medium is probably a way station, but it looks better than than GAblog at any rate, and it's fine for now. I doubt I had any readers who don't check out the reddit page or follow me on twitter, so no one will miss it there. Gans may ask me about it at some point, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

I'll be reading Stiegler and others like Simondon and writing about technology quite a bit. I don't know that we'll ever be finished with learning materials--there's no need to wait, as there's plenty to work with, and Joel's journal, it seems will create new teachers and learners.

You may be right about blog readers--other than Lasky, who has posted below, I don't think anyone "within" GA reads the blog (I've certainly never heard from any of them about it, and they know how to email me anyway)--but there might be others I don't know about.

I should have let you know that you can get an ebook version free from the Imperium Press website.

I was just following up on my explanation to "ice and rock" of why I didn't post this blog post on the GABlog. I said that it seems to me that no one who reads the blog would miss it being there, since they all follow my notifications on the reddit page and now on twitter. And there you were, proving my point.
